IN adolescence, our skin is at its peak – free from visible pores, dehydration, and damage caused by sun or stress. However, like other organs, our skin undergoes aging over time.
While genetics are beyond our control, factors like diet, hydration, smoking, and alcohol consumption can be managed.
But occasionally, despite our best efforts, our skin needs additional support.
The answer lies not in anti-aging but in an approach called positive aging.
Positive aging isn't about pursuing eternal youth; it’s about feeling empowered, confident, and healthy in your own skin at every age.
At Cosmedica, situated in Victoria, British Columbia, we’re committed to celebrating your timeless beauty. We want to empower you throughout every stage of life, providing you with control over the aging process. Think of our personalized 360 treatment plan method as your valuable companion on this journey.
We created these plans to foster both your skin health and overall well-being, enhancing your confidence.
This post will help you recognize the signs of aging, understand related skin concerns, and learn how to manage them, so you can feel your best at any age!
Your 20s – 30s: Pre-Rejuvenation
Opportunities
The goal at this stage is to preserve the beauty of your expressions.
Taking a proactive stance is essential, as it provides the perfect opportunity to seize control. Through preventive measures, you can get ready for future reparative goals. By establishing a simple skincare routine and incorporating low-maintenance treatments, we can effectively address early fine lines and the decrease in collagen production.
Changes
Even as your skin shows small changes, like early fine lines, take preventive measures to address them. These shifts include:
Hydration Levels:
Shift | Natural skin hydration levels may start to decline.
Result | The skin looks drier and less plump.
Cell Turnover:
Shift | The shedding of old skin cells and the generation of new ones start to slow down, resulting in a less efficient cell turnover process.
Result | The skin looks duller.
Collagen and Elastin Production:
Shift | The production of collagen and elastin, essential for skin firmness and elasticity, gradually decreases.
Result | The skin looks less firm, and initial signs of fine lines and expression lines may become noticeable.
Recommended Treatments
We recommend trying:
- Simple Skincare Routine: Following a personalized consultation with our experts, discover a skincare routine tailored to suit you and promote happy, healthy skin. Don't forget the sunscreen.
- Wrinkle Relaxers: Prevent wrinkles while preserving natural expressions using powerful neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport.
- Gentle Skin Resurfacing: As natural production declines, this treatment plan helps boost skin collagen levels.
Your 40s – 50s: Modern Maintenance
Opportunities
The goal at this stage is to prevent and correct.
Now is the ideal time to enhance your skin health with an improved treatment plan, including more frequent sessions. Keep up with preventive measures and initiate corrective ones.
Changes
In your 40s and 50s, your skin experiences a reduction in elasticity and firmness, resulting in a less hydrated appearance, alongside other shifts, including:
Collagen and Elastin Production:
Shift | Continued decline in collagen and elastin production.
Result | More noticeable fine lines and wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and marionette lines.
Supportive Structures:
Shift | Weakening of facial and other skin-supportive structures.
Result | Saggy skin.
Facial Volume:
Shift | Gradual loss of facial fat and volume.
Result | Reduced overall facial fullness, resulting in hollow areas around eyes and cheeks.
Recommended Treatments
We recommend trying and combining the following:
Your 60s: Advanced Approach
Opportunities
The goal at this stage is to age gracefully.
Celebrate your journey and modify your treatment plan to enhance your skin’s resilience. Our focus is on restoring volume, tightening the skin, and improving texture.
Changes
In your 60s and beyond, the skin becomes less elastic, making it less plump. The shifts include:
Collagen and Elastin:
Shift | More reduction and impairment in collagen and elastin production, resulting in decreased skin firmness.
Result | Skin appears loose; an example is the development of jowls.
Age Spots and Hyperpigmentation:
Shift | Darkened skin surface areas due to prolonged sun exposure over the years.
Result | Age spots and uneven skin tone.
Facial Fat:
Shift | Natural loss of subcutaneous fat, particularly in the cheeks and under the eyes
Result | Skin appears more hollowed. Deeper wrinkles and fine lines become more pronounced around the eyes, mouth, and neck.
